Picture Perfect- Liquid

Stream Bed
As soon as I saw the topic this week I thought of this picture. It was taken two years ago on the Canadian side of Glacier National Park (which is Waterton Park, if you're in Canada.) The rocks in the stream bed are red and green. The signs told us that this is rock normally found far below the earth's crust. I brought some home with me because they're so unique, but you have to keep them wet in order for their color to show through. Therefore, they need to stay in liquid.
 
Picture Perfect
Each week a new theme will be posted here on Friday morning. You are invited to put up your best picture on your own blog with that theme in mind, and you do have the whole weekend to post your picture, so there is no rush

Remember it should be just  ONE and ORIGINAL, taken by YOU,and not off the internet,

Then come back and leave a comment on this page in the comment box so that everyone can link to your blog and see your photo. Don't forget to OPEN your page to EVERYONE for that day.

By all means mention your camera and lens used, and if the picture has been altered or enhanced in any way, so we can all learn and improve our techniques.

Try and post a decent size picture on your blog page for an increased WOW factor. Often so much is lost or distorted if the size is too big or too small.

Remember this is NOT a competition, this about being creative having fun and being supportive of one another.

Out of the box thinking is encouraged.

    How interesting! I never knew there were rocks like that. What happens if they're left to dry?

    Reminds me of the stream that passes behind my summer place... always cold cold for the toes! Neat capture.

    They turn gray, like other rocks. There's hint of green or red, but you wouldn't know they were that deep a color.

    And if you can click on it and see it larger- it looks blurry here but is really detailed larger size.
